TESTIMONIALS
"Body Mind Wisdom was an amazing journey of self-discovery. Not only did it bring many insights but it also brought clear and concrete actions. I left this 8-week program feeling more connected to myself, to my truth, and to staying in conscious, compassionate flow in my life. THANKS Melissa for so thoughtfully designing and facilitating this powerful program!”

“This program is a beautiful and gentle way to explore exactly where you are in life. With each week and theme there is an opportunity for internal connection with the body, mind, and spirit. Very informative with practical ‘tools’ for moving in daily life. This is not a ‘woo woo’ program!”

This program exceeded my expectations. It changed my life in so many positive ways. I'm finally listening to my body!! Actually, I'm finally listening, period, to my family, to my friends, and to the wisdom and beauty that is offered in every moment. This is an experiential experience that is simple but profound.
Melissa is a one-of-a-kind facilitator. Her presence and attentiveness gives you a deep sense of being listened to and understood. This work is truly her gift.

Melissa's Body Mind Wisdom series was an amazing journey deeper in to myself. Every week you are given practices designed to reveal another layer of whatever issue you are working on within yourself. After the 8 weeks concluded, I felt I had a much better understanding of myself and that I could take these lessons forward with me in life.

Melissa is wonderful at holding space; loving, caring and insightful. She was intuitive about what every individual in the group needed, and could integrate each session with insight and flexibility.
This program changes how you go through life and gives you strategies that you use.

Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy has opened my mind, body, and emotional body to the idea that my life can be fluid and I can take myself anywhere I desire.
I found sanctuary within myself.

This course is very welcoming to all. I felt part of a community even though I don't have a 'yoga body' or experience in yoga.

I learned some simple but powerful techniques for tuning in to my body and choices and getting out of my head and into more peaceful, intention-led moments. Melissa is a very warm presence and guide for some -at times - sad and frightening moments. I really appreciated her thoughtful active listening and empathy.

Life changing tools to build your 'personal toolbox'. Everyone can use more peace and less judgement in life.
Circle time had so much impact. It helped to breakdown barriers; to allow and understand through others stories.

Melissa's guidance of our Mens group was expert level. She struck a beautiful balance of direction & freedom for self discovery, and guidance. The combination of group circle, guided movement, journaling and meditation created an experience much greater than the sum of its parts. I am leaving this series a changed person.

Coming together with other truth seekers in an open relaxed and gentle way allows me to 'see' myself and my patterns with more ease and clarity. This program is a gift to the 'Self'.

If you're looking for a class that will dive as deep as you are willing to take it, bringing you to uncomfortable edges for the reward of more self awareness and authentic connection, this course will do just that.
